So I feel like I owe a bit of an explanation, even an incomplete one.
I'll give you the short version because my life story is boring. x3
Back in June, and later in July when I left, I was processing a lot of things, both related to my transition and completely unrelated from my transition. I'm not going to get into the transition stuff here, or my gender identity stuff b/c I think for the most part people aren't interested ( if I'm wrong, feel free to PM or hmu on Skype or something ). TL;DR is that I've come to prefer nonbinary they/them pronouns, and I have a far better understanding of myself and my challenges. She is still acceptable and I'm not gonna be going full tumblr on you for using feminine pronouns, because they are convenient and accurate to a degree, but yeah.
Also relevant is I was dealing with my lack of energy for game development anymore, and unable to really reason out how RMRK fit into my life when I was barely participating at all. I didn't really see myself making games anymore, I didn't feel like I really belonged on a site dedicated to it. It didn't, and still doesnt, really feel like a thing that is part of me to a significant degree anymore. I'm just pretty much done making videogames for the most part ( although I may for kicks now and again ). This is something that was difficult for me to really reconcile, and is a lot of the reason I didn't really feel as connected to the community as I used to be.
So...yeah, I'm back because I feel like I have the energy and the space for RMRK to be part of my life again, and I've missed a bunch of you. I'll be around, 'n I'll probably hang out in IRC again.
